I tryed first mine Burst and hold it. Once it was pumped i sold out all of it. When price dumped, i decided that now is time to change all drives for Storj. And was disappointed. Storj did not use all capacity like burst (so calculator was wrong), but did very high intencity of load on hard disks and cpu. And i return back to burst.
I happen to me few months ago as I tested to mine Storj in 2 weeks with 8 Tb: just few hundred kbs was filled, also it seems like my internet traffic was affected a lot by Storj mining even with that low of renting space.
is it profitable now? could anyone tell me what is the ROI of a storj rig with 40T capacity?
You could have a reference for profitable calculation on this site:
https://blocks.fastpool.info/calculator I suggest that you cut it 20%, so for 40Tb, with current difficulty level, you may get 1314 Burst coin, so 80% of that: 1314*0.8 = 1051 Burst => ~ 17$/month.
The Technically mining process initialy speaking GPU mining is better for profits than HDD mining. However, my thinking is that means getting in at the ground level in HDD mining where GPU mining is crowded. HDD's are always valuable regardless of the crypto market.Assuming you are doing this as an investment I think at the moment it's too soon to get a sensible system. Your electricity costs and potential fees for the static process will probably out spend rewards. Statiprocess can be obtained for free with good admin if you keep on top of the account. If that started should be relevent on HDD mining.
Totally agree with you. I'm mining Burst coin mostly for my hobby, also Burst Coin's community is very nice, I learned a lot from them, and the thing is I could collect around some cheap HDDs. The only thing to do in Burst coin mining is sitting there and wait money back, actually almost no ROI haha.
